I rode Manta on Memorial Day. It was awesome! The waits were 30-75 minutes all day. It's rare for me to wait in a 45 minute line, get off the ride, and wait in the 45 minute line again for another ride.

If you sit in the left or right hand side, you may get slightly wet. Not drenching wet, but your left or right hand was get a little wet.

Those of us that are pooh sized LOVE the way WDW makes rides bigger for us. How tight compared to say Expedition Everest is Manta? Maybe I should ask this way - size wise, which WDW ride / coaster with restraints does it compare to in size for the rider?

The restraints are similar to Rock N Roller Coaster. For Pooh sized individuals, the Manta restraints may be a little light. Unlike Kraken, there aren't seats for larger sized individuals. I did see a few Pooh sized guys fit into Manta OK. There is a test seat outside, so try it out if you are in doubt.

Hi! I'm POOH sized - very much so. It was a tight fit, but I was able to ride Manta. It's pretty awesome! and well worth the squeeze. I actually found it easier to ride Manta than Kracken.

Cool!! When we were there last Aug, it was still boarded up. Love Kraken! Can't wait for our next visit to Sea World to ride Manta. And the new Harry Potter land at Universal!
